viva las vegas

February 21, 2014

This weekend we’re off for a little getaway to Vegas! We’ll be celebrating a birthday while also getting some much needed change of scenery. Our usual travel wear is a favorite pair jeans, a soft & cute t-shirt and a jacket, just in case it gets chilly on the plane. Add a great carry-on bag & you are good to go!

For us Vegas isn’t just about gambling. On the weekend agenda: seeing a show, checking out the great decor in the hotels, a trip to the Conservatory and Botanical Gardens at Bellagio, a stop at The Cosmopolitan’s Bond Bar & a bottle of bubbly at Parasol Down in the Wynn. Add lots of great shopping and it’s the perfect weekend get away!

coffee table books

February 20, 2014

We love coffee table books and we’re always on the lookout for a new one to add to our collection. Ours run the gamut – from style & fashion, to cooking & cocktails, and cats & dogs! Neiman Marcus, Anthropologie, & Restoration Hardware all carry a great selection of statement books. A new coffee table book may be just what you need to spice up your decor. Above are a few of our current favorites!

chocolate molten cake

February 19, 2014

We love chocolate, but for the most part only in small doses. A truffle here, or a chocolate chip cookie there, usually does the trick. When researching dessert recipes for a recent birthday celebration this chocolate molten cake caught our eye. The preparation is so simple for a dish with such great presentation & intense chocolatey flavor! Even better, the cakes can be prepared several hours ahead before baking. Prepared as individual dishes, it’s just the right amount of chocolate, and with the addition of vanilla & coffee ice cream – our idea of perfection!

Also, today is the last day to enter the Victoria’s Secret Giveaway!
